    Default Stability

    Before the last extended downtime, I had perhaps three crashes in two months of play. Since then I have been crashing excessively, typically at least once every two hours. And, since I started Gianthold on a new character, I have crashed seven times in PoP alone. My video drivers are up-to-date, and I have tried lowering my graphical settings several times, but nothing helps. Is there any chance this is going to be fixed, or should I go ahead and cancel my subscription?

    Edit: Wonderful, now I'm crashing automatically when DDO loads.

    After a full reinstall I am still crashing.

    And now, after a full reinstall and multiple crashes in Irestone Inlet of all places, the launcher is refusing to recognize that the game is installed and tries to make me download the game again.

    Default Have you tried running anti-virus scan

    or defragment your hard drives, both scenarios have given me issues in the past.

    You should probably give your system specs if you think it's a problem with the game and not just something about your computer that's gone bad.

    I'd probably do what Beld suggested (run anti-virus and defragment) and if those don't work, then download and run memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org/) which tests your RAM for errors (bad RAM tends to cause crashes on anything memory intensive such as games)

    Make sure you've tried uninstalling TDM as well and just running the game normally. TDM won't always properly grab all the files so when the game tries to load them you may crash.

    There is definitely an issue with DDO crashing for some people after Update 1. DDO crashes for me all the time now, always while loading an area - much more commonly on large areas like Gianthold. Quite a few other people have mentioned they have the same problem.

    I agree. Something was messed up with the last update because zoning into the 3BC tavern from House D almost always causes my client to crash now. It's definitely not a graphic issue (as the devs have suggested might be causing instability) because the tavern isn't a large open space or graphic intensive.

    Default System Stability

    You should have been more specific in the title, or perhaps posted this in the Technical Advice forum. I thought you had a quesiton about items with the Stability feature.

    *EDIT*
    On the serious side, I hope you get things working again. A good virus scan and/or a defrag have done wonders for many players that were experiencing the same problem as the one you're describing.
